Discovered the word "crybullying" which describes this shit perfectly.

--- End quote ---

"Crybulling" or "snowflake" labeling are  too soft. They are groups rather seemed to "SA" , "brown shirt" of the Nazi Germany or  The Red Guardian of the Communist Regimes. These groups are based just grievance for imposing
their dictatorship of the unique-thought. They aren't scrupulous ,if the coercion via "emotion" doesn't work , they pass to bully and overthrow . And last stage if the others don't work is the civil death .It means
what you turn in pariah. That implicate in example ,you are hard to achieve a job or join association.

Do note that in this context, "racism" means "perceived or emoted oppression by white people".  According to how these people define the term, racism against white people is impossible, because racism is structural, and white people oppress everyone else in structured environments. For the same reason, racism against Asians only matter if it is perpetrated by "whites", not if by "brown" or "black" people.

None of this is sane.  None of this will have a positive long-term outcome.

I have already prepared my arguments for the next time I encounter people espousing this shit.  I will present them my own plan for protected safe spaces for each group that perceives themselves to be threatened or suppressed: As Parts in Our Own Communities, or apartheid for short.

Oh dear, blacklist and whitelist are included in that "ban" as well. 

I better rebuild my FPGA design.  Far too many references to AXI4 Master and AXI4 Slave.  The electrons might be offended.

Nominal Animal:
I wonder how these people would react, if they met a BDSM couple, a pasty white bald older male with a jet-black, shaved young woman, with the latter the submissive one in heavy spiked chains?  (Rule 34.)

Would they call police?  Or just grab whatever pointy sticks they had, and kill the guy?  Everything in that couple is against the core beliefs of these people.  Would they accept this mixed-race couple?  Could they?

Oh man, this would make excellent street performance!
